The Milk Revolution

Wednesday, 19 October 2011

We are finally settled into our class again and have new routines. We're in grade five now and have a few new students. The Milk Revolution continued all summer and early in September our school board announced a junk food ban in all schools in our district. We feel proud of our district because they are helping all of us be more healthy.

We have noticed that most students in our school are choosing white milk instead of chocolate for lunch. Hopefully, one day chocolate milk will be gone completely.

In September we were featured on jamieoliver.com again. Here is a link to our article.

Next week students in our class will be presenting our journey with The Milk Revolution to the school board trustees. We will update you after the meeting.

Students will be back to school very soon, which means parents will have a choice to make regarding healthy school lunches. We are asking parents to encourage their children to choose white milk instead of chocolate in their lunches. Don't forget to include all the food groups and drink lots of water, too!

See, even the bugs at the Victoria Bug Zoo know about The Milk Revolution!

School starts again September 1. Once we're settled in our routines, we'll take a look at how we can continue The Milk Revolution.
